Master of Science in Applied Biochemistry
Applications of biochemistry are increasing day by day in every sphere of life. Availability of suitably qualified personnel is very much limited. This post graduate course is designed to generate qualified persons to handle the emerging needs in applied biochemistry. Students undergoing this course will understand the scientific basics of the life processes at the molecular level. It will orient them towards the applications of the knowledge acquired to organize biochemical analysis of organs/tissues. Besides, the programme will help to develop competence and skills to organize and conduct research. Their knowledge on instrumentation will aid in the handling of modern sophisticated equipments. Understanding molecular biology tools will help in the diagnosis, prevention and control of diseases. It will also lead to the augmentation of production and synthesis of biological products for improving health and treatment of diseases. Molecular biology tools also play an important role in the detection of food pathogens and thereby help to maintain food safety and security. The course will further equip the students and open up opportunities to undertake career in teaching, research and in diagnostic laboratories/institutions.
Eligibility: Bachelors degree in Biochemistry/Biology/Chemistry/Zoology/ Botany/ Biotechnology/ Life Science/ Dairy science from a recognised University.

Diploma in Poultry Production
Among various agriculture-related activities, poultry sector is the one with the highest annual growth rate. In spite of higher output of the sector in India, per capita consumption of eggs and poultry meat is one of the lowest. Eggs and poultry meat supply high quality protein at cheaper costs compared to other protein sources. These products have a huge potential to alleviate food and nutritional insecurity of people. In this context, skilled human resource becomes essential for the growth of this sector, both as managers in the industry as well as self-employed entrepreneurs. The course “Diploma in Poultry Production” is uniquely designed to impart basic theoretical knowledge and reasonable practical experience in all aspects of poultry farming, namely layer production, broiler production, quail farming and other avian species management. The degree holders are expected to pursue viable poultry-business activities.
Eligibility
Pass in Plus Two or VHSE with Biology as one subject
Duration : One Year (Two Semesters)
No. of seats : 30
Fee : Rs. 15000/- per semester
Diploma in Laboratory Techniques
Laboratory technology is concerned with the diagnosis of diseases through the use of clinical laboratory tests. A qualified laboratory technician plays a vital role in collecting the information needed, sampling, testing, reporting and documentation of these investigations. The results determine the presence, extent or absence of disease and provide data needed to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. In the light of emerging and re-emerging diseases in animals and human beings along with the zoonotic and vector borne nature of many pathogens, an increasing demand for timely and accurate disease diagnosis is the need of the hour. There exist a wide gap between the growing need and existing facility in this field both in terms of quality and quantity. Therefore a key focus should be placed on providing technically competent personnel in the area of laboratory technology useful for animal/human laboratory analysis.
In order to obtain reliable and accurate results for laboratory tests, a sound theoretical knowledge and good practical skill on laboratory techniques is inevitable. The course will be a collaborative effort of three major disciplines like Parasitology, Pathology and Public health. It will comprise of elaborate theory classes, hands on practical and demonstration classes on collection, preservation and dispatch of clinical samples, handling of microscopes and other equipments, preparation of glassware/media, assistance to postmortem examination, detection of pathogens, analysis of blood and urine, examination procedures of clinical samples, preparation of reagents and solutions. Moreover the use of advanced disease diagnostic equipments necessitates a familiarity in proper handling and care.
The Diploma course in laboratory techniques also intends to impart advanced skills to mould practicing laboratory professionals to excel in quality disease diagnosis to serve as an integral part of country’s health care system.
Eligibility
Pass in Plus Two or VHSE with Biology as one of the subject
